Voting No: None. 3) Consider Modifications to Municipal State Aid System Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained the Municipal State Aid (MSA) System consists of collector roadways, which are designated by the City and approved by the state to be part of the system. These roadways become eligible for funding from state gas tax revenues for both construction and maintenance. In 2006, the City will receive $749,910 as its total annual allocation. The amount the City receives each year is dependent upon population and the estimated amount of dollars needed to bring the designated MSA System up to its construction standards. Cities are allowed to designate up to 20% of the certified mileage as MSA route, and with the recent construction from new development the City has additional mileage, which could be added to the system. Assistant Public Works Director Olson advised it was the consensus of the Committee to direct staff to include this topic on the schedule of the March Public Works Committee meeting, with staff to provide further information regarding the following MSA street extensions: · Extension through the area of the Boy Scout Camp to the City of Andover · Extension of Sunwood Drive · East/west connection from the Greg Bauer property to Central Park around the area of 160t~ Avenue Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee in Case No. 3 and to direct staff to provide further information to the Public Works Committee regarding the following MSA street extensions: · Extension through the area of the Boy Scout Camp to the City of Andover · Extension of Sunwood Drive City Council / March 14, 2006 Page 22 of 25
